500,000 acres of prime land while Kenyans are killing each other because of lack of land! Why will this article not state that his daddy grabbed Kenyan’s land as soon as the British left instead of lying to us that he bought it. But anyway thank THE DEVIL that tribalism will allow him to be president because any sane human will not vote for this guy! BURE KABISA!

nick

Some of us in Kenya rural roads Authority want to to vote for you. But from what we read in your manifesto your plan is to desolve Kerra a community of close to 1810 persons with dependants, please consider what the majority of people who when asked to comment about Road management in the country responded that the current model of working has delivered to the wanainchi . A report currently with the relevant authorities.

I’ll vote for Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta because he previously demonstrated high levels of maturity, competence and effective leadership.He is unique, he cannot be compared with most of the presidential candidates in the coming elections.I I wish you all the best brother.

…”where he used to personally pick up and transport horticulture for export on his pick up truck.” is my favorite part of the biography. Also didn’t know the guy worked an ordinary job as a bank teller at KCB. Wish you a long life Mr.President

Charity

Am proud i voted for him today,am convinced he is going to win this election despite his foes hunting him down from all corners.GOD bless him and his family.

Good synopsis of the county.
There is so much work to be done especially in poverty eradication. My only concern is that setting the headquarters at Kapsowar will keep the heartbeat of county away from the conduit of what will soon develop to be a network of commercial centres.

Ideally, Iten would serve better. It is connected to other urban centres [Eldoret, Kabarnet, etc] which will prove to be vital if the county has to position itself for economic growth. I also believe that the first focus of the county government should be to bave [tarmack] the Iten-Kapsowar-Tot road, then the Cheptongei-Kitale. After these two, Flourspar-Tot road. Then Chepkorio Iten Road, These roads will then open up the county for economic growth.

Mr. President, you have fought well, and you have spoken well so far. We have confidence in you that you’ll deliver, just as you have promised. Congrats are in order, and as a patriotic Kenyan, five years from now(maybe more), we will look back and never regret this day. We will work with you, so you do your part. God’s wisdom as you lead us Mr. President.

Zi president

Congrtulations to the people of Kenya,and Congratulations to the Honourable elected President Uhuru Kenyatta.
May God direct you and give you wisdom as you begin to direct the wonderful people of Kenya.
I wish this transition was in Zimbabwe,it’s crucial to birth a leader of the people’s choice.
Well done Kenyans got lots of respect for you.

For those who do not believe this u will die not believing

Geoffrey Ndossa

Hongera sana rafiki yangu Uhuru. The major task ahead you is to build United Kenya which doesn’t recognize/descriminate someone by his/her tribe. As you have started in God’s name, keep believing in him and put Him first all the time in your tenure. God be with you now and forever.

He is a wise leader and respect people. We as Kenyan’s should support him to deliver, whatever he promised in his inaguration . Come 2018, i will vote for this true son of Kenya.

The recent announcement of the nominated County Executive has raised huge concerns and has failed on a specific constitutional point: The observance of the 1/3 gender rule/law.

It has been stated by certain parties that there were no women with the appropriate qualifications who applied for the jobs that were advertised in the National Dailies on a competitive basis. This we know to be a fallacy, and almost an insult and contemptuous to the community of Taita Taveta women especially when some of the men on the nominee list raise question marks on their education, integrity and qualifications.

The Governor stated in a forum recently that his office had received more than 400 applications. Should we take it that out of all those applicants, that no woman passed the following criteria (which were included in the advertisement)?

1) is a Kenyan citizen;

2) is a holder of at least a first degree from a university recognised in Kenya;

3) satisfies the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution; and

4) has knowledge, experience and a distinguished career of not less than five years in the field relevant to the portfolio of the department to which the person is being appointed.

As county citizens, we would like to know what qualification criteria were applied to all applicants that surpassed the above and ended in the conclusion of no woman being eligible for the positions.

Are these positions being filled in a competitive, merit based capacity or nominated solely through political and lobbyist channels?

It would also be in good faith to the County, if the Governor and his office were to release a list of all the applications, women and men inclusive, that applied for the county positions to justify the claim that we (women) did not apply for the jobs.

It has been announced on radio that Women have one week to send through new applications, but:

· what is the point of this if the qualification criteria is not transparent?

· Does this mean that the announced nominee list is withdrawn and that with the new applications, a new list will be drawn up for the 10 County Executive Committee Positions, 7 County Service Board Positions and Others?

We would also like to understand why the dockets advertised are slightly different from the ones the Governor has stated as part of his nominee list.

We would also like to understand why the Deputy Governor Mary Kibuka has been identified as a candidate selected for the Lands Docket. A position that was not in existence to public knowledge and also means that the Deputy Governor would be carrying two office positions within the County Government.

It should also be noted that her nomination to this office should not count as part of efforts to satisfy the 1/3 gender rule.

BOTH the County Executive Committee and County Public Service Board need to satisfy the 1/3 gender rule and it is not a matter of either, or. Having more than 2/3 women as part of the County Public Service Board does not mean that the County Government can get away with having all men within the County Executive Committee.

This means that the County Executive Committee and the County Service Board should have at least 3 positions and 2 positions filled by one gender respectively.

According to the Constitution of Kenya and The Transition Authority, the Principles of Devolved Government include:-

i. Democratic principles and separation of powers;

ii. Reliable sources of revenue to be able to govern and deliver services effectively;

iii. that the membership of representative bodies should not comprise more than two thirds of one gender.

The County Executive Committee Members are nominated by the Governor and vetted by the County Assembly prior to appointment;

i. The County Executive Members appear before Select Committees of the County Assembly as required by statute and or the Standing Orders;

ii. The County Service Board procures the County Public Service.

iii. The County Executive Committee manages and administers the operations of the County Public Service.

THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE

The Executive of the County comprise –

1) The County Governor and the Deputy County Governor;

2) The Members of the County Executive Committee;

3) The Civil Service of the County Executive.

According to the COUNTY GOVERNMENTS ACT 2012:

ARTICLE 35 –APPOINTMENT OF COUNTY EXECUTIVE MEMBERS

1) The governor shall, when nominating members of the executive committee—

a) ensure that to the fullest extent possible, the composition of the executive committee reflects the community and cultural diversity of the county; and

b) take into account the principles of affirmative action as provided for in the Constitution.

2) The county assembly shall not approve nominations for appointment to the executive committee that do not take into account—

a) Not more than two thirds of either gender;

b) Representation of the minorities, marginalized groups and communities; and

c) Community and cultural diversity within the county.

3) A person may be appointed as a member of the county executive committee if that person—

a) is a Kenyan citizen;

b) is a holder of at least a first degree from a university recognised in Kenya;

c) satisfies the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution; and

d) has knowledge, experience and a distinguished career of not less than five years in the field relevant to the portfolio of the department to which the person is being appointed.

4) A member of the county executive committee shall not hold any other State or public office.

According to the CONSTITUTION OF KENYA 2010:

ARTICLE 10 – NATIONAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNANCE

(1) The national values and principles of governance in this Article bind all State organs, State officers, public officers and all persons whenever any of them––

(a) applies or interprets this Constitution;

(b) enacts, applies or interprets any law; or

(c) makes or implements public policy decisions.

(2) The national values and principles of governance include––

(a) patriotism, national unity, sharing and devolution of power, the rule of law, democracy and participation of the people;

Unfortunately I travelled back to Nairobi from Mwatate late yesterday evening to attend to responsibilities in Nairobi.

Would it be possible to substitute my visit to your office with a phone conversation at the time you have suggested?

Many Thanks,

Youths also know that he has 500,000 acres of prime land while they suffer in slums because of lack of land!

You will win but Kenya will loose

abedy

Tell them! you seem to be the only person who has taken time out to think in this tread. Because of few Kenyans like you, there is hope

abedy

THIS IS WHAT EVERY KENYAN SHOULD BARE IN MIND. THE WORLD WILL NOT FORGIVE US IF WE MESS UP AGAIN!!

abedy

hmmn…. Interesting…..Hope not so many Kenyans have the same mindset.

abedy

The question most tribalists are not considering. Shame on us Kenyans

abedy

I LIKE YOU MAN!! Finally someone with a critical mind in this tread. I agree with you that most youths in Kenya have not taken time off to think!! it is as if they are all blinded by the traditional tribal politics. If we can not ask these important questions now before elections, then when are we going to ask?? Being a Kenyan in the diaspora and looking at things from the outside, I see Kenya sleepwalking into ruin led by youth who should be the ones saving it from the the impending disaster. Kenyans vision 2030 heavily depends on foreign investment and international reputation and Kenyans are more than ready to elect leaders who will put a death nail to our international reputation. Who will want to invest in a country led by two international criminals??

abedy

He is not, has never been and will never be a visionary leader!! Go sit down under a tree and think!!
